Global Leadership & Learning
GivingTuesday is cultivating movement leadership globally with learning opportunities that empower grassroots leaders, community organizers, and nonprofits to be more innovative, collaborative, and data-focused.
As community organizers, movement leaders, and nonprofits all sought to adapt to the impact of the pandemic, GivingTuesday boosted efforts to share knowledge, discover new best practices, and encourage experimentation to create a more resilient social sector. The organization expanded resources by adding new templates, toolkits, webinars, and more opportunities for peer learning, thereby reaching millions of social changemakers working at NGOs and CSOs all over the world.
Hundreds of GivingTuesday leaders and partners came together in July for our virtual Leadership Summit, which provided movement builders of all backgrounds the opportunity to share ideas and work together as a global team. Our staff and leaders collaborated to host discussions and design workshops on data and measurement, succession planning, fundraising, media strategies, youth engagement, and more.
In Russia and Tanzania, GivingTuesday country leaders organized in-person conferences that brought partners and organizations together to share knowledge on data, leadership, movement building, and increasing giving. GivingTuesday Czech Republic and GivingTuesday Ghana also hosted virtual events to connect local leaders with new ideas and campaign best practices. Leaders from Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda collaborated on the GivingTuesday East Africa Summit, hosted by East Africa Philanthropy Network. This hybrid event with both onsite and virtual participants from the region aimed to equip partners for the global day of generosity as well as provide them an opportunity to share their experiences and learnings from the pandemic.
CONVENING BEST PRACITICES, CULTIVATING COMMUNITY
